Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing ELU001, a new drug that targets advanced cancers by delivering cancer-fighting chemicals directly to the cancer cells. It focuses on adults with difficult-to-treat cancers that overproduce a specific protein and have no other treatment options. The drug acts like a guided missile, aiming to kill cancer cells while sparing healthy ones.
